The World Health Organization said the number of Ebola cases appears to have stabilized in Guinea — where the recent outbreak of the deadly virus first surfaced in March — but that there has been further deterioration in Sierra Leone.
The Geneva-based organization made the assessment as it released its latest figures on the number of people now thought to have died from the disease: 2,917, US Today reported.
The WHO said a total of 6,262 people from across Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, Senegal and Sierra Leone have been infected with the virus.
On Wednesday, Sierra Leone President Ernest Bai Koroma warned that more needed to be done in his country or "the situation will rapidly deteriorate."
